It's always me

Ricochet

All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk
"and it's okay to laugh about it"
I said, "it's okay to laugh about it"
Running twice as fast to stay in the same place
Don't catch my breath to the end of the day
And I'd rather be shot in the face
Than hear what you're going to say
One day the wind will come up
And you'll come up empty again
And who'll be laughing then?
You'll come up empty again
There's no reason, no explanation, so play the violin
It's always funny until someone gets hurt...
And then it's just hilarious!
You beat me every time you blink
If only I did not have to think
Think about you crackin' a smile
Think about you all the while
One day the wind will come up
And you'll come up empty again
And who'll be laughing then?
You'll come up empty again
There's no reason, no explanation, so play the violin
On the ricochet - it's gonna hit you
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
You can laugh at me - when it misses you
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
And then it's just hilarious!

Faith no More

Crow

Burn

"Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
"Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled bird mad girl... "
But every night I burn
But every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again

"Oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
"Don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
There's nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do... "
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end

"Just paint your face" the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
"Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired... "
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream

Dream the crow black dream...

Perdida por Dubrovnik

Wake up call (breaking the chain)

Lost in space, lost in time
I need the words to redefine
But i can't seem to leave it all behind
Reaching for my yesterdays
I'm reaching for the words to say
Somehow I'm surviving day by day

Sometimes I lose myself
And seem to find no one else
Wish I could only find myself

Going down, falling down
I need to be on solid ground
But everything comes crashing around
So what to do and what to say
I really need a change
It's about time that we break the chain

I'm moving back and forth
For what it's worth

Just need some room to breathe
A place where my mind can feed
Apart from what society breeds

Ever felt when life
Seems to pass you by
To this situation I deny
Instead of lose it all
Prevent to take the fall
Consider this as your wake up call

I'm moving back and forth
For what it's worth

If I ever follow your steps instead of mine
Will I ever know myself?
Did you ever follow my steps instead of yours
Then you'll really hurt yourself
What goes around comes around
What goes around comes around harder...

Thinking about it

Obsessão

Os bosques para mim são como catedrais,
Com orgãos a ulular, incutindo pavor...
E os nossos corações, - jazidas sepulcrais,
De profundis também soluçam, n'um clamor.

Odeio do oceano as iras e os tumultos,
Que retratam minh'alma! O riso singular
E o amargo do infeliz, misto de pranto e insultos,
É um riso semelhante ao do soturno mar.
Ai! como eu te amaria, ó Noite, caso tu
Pudesses alijar a luz que te constéia,
Porque eu procuro o Nada, o Tenebroso, o Nu!

Que a própria escuridão é tambem uma téia,
Onde vejo fulgir, na luz dos meus olhares.
Os entes que perdi, - espectros familiares!

Charles Baudelaire, in "As Flores do Mal"

The Pretender

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense

Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story

[Chorus (x2):]
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story

[Chorus x2]

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend

[Chorus x2]

[x2]
What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all... pretend)
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
